🛡️ AARF – Agentic AI Request Forgery (New Vulnerability Class)

AARF (Agentic AI Request Forgery) is a newly discovered architectural vulnerability class in Agentic AI orchestration systems using MCP Server, MAS, LangChain, and A2A Protocols.

💥 This is not injection.
💥 This is not jailbreak.
💥 This is blind trust between Planner ➝ Memory ➝ Plugin chains.

🔥 Why AARF Matters

AARF lets attackers submit benign prompts that trigger privileged internal actions:

  • Exfiltrate data via fallback plugin (e.g., SlackBot, EmailSender)
  • Trigger unintended actions (like infrastructure shutdown or security escalations)
  • Poison cross-agent memory in MAS setups
  • All with no alerts, no SIEM hits, no policy violations
